Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The world's first robot with citizenship 10.07.2023

Sophia, a humanoid robot, has officially been granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, marking the first time a machine has been granted citizenship.

"I am grateful to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for granting me citizenship. I became the first robot in the world to achieve this status," Sophia said at the Future Investment Initiative economic conference in Riyadh.

This decision caused certain doubts and discontent among the citizens of the country. According to the religious norms of Saudi Arabia, it is forbidden to depict objects in the form of a person. In addition, the country has strict regulations that prevent citizenship from being granted to foreign workers, who make up a large proportion of the kingdom's population.

Robot Sophia is able to express more than 60 emotions. Special cameras are installed in his eyes, designed to establish visual contact with the interlocutor. Earlier, Sofia in an interview announced her intentions to kill people and take over the world, but later added that it was just a joke.
